2024 CADILLAC XT4
SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE
Overview
It isn't easy for the 2024 Cadillac XT4 to live in the shadow of its big brother, the Cadillac Escalade. After all, the Escalade is easily the flagship SUV for the brand. But despite the Escalade's obvious popularity, not every driver wants a full-sized SUV nor, its equally large price tag. The 2024 Cadillac XT4 is Cadillac's small luxury SUV, priced economically for those wanting to own a Cadillac SUV but not completely sold on the Escalade's size or its exponentially higher cost. Along with better fuel economy than the Escalade, the XT4's large touchscreen and stylish exterior are other winning points this small SUV delivers for Cadillac enthusiasts.
Who's It For?
The 2024 Cadillac XT4 is an entry-level Cadillac for families wanting to own a vehicle from the iconic brand, but unwilling or unable to opt for Cadillac's more expensive, more powerful full-sized SUVs. The 2024 XT4 offers a capable ride about town with more cargo room than a compact sedan and the luxury touches that form the foundation of the Cadillac brand. With seating for five, the XT4 fits most families and with the fuel economy of a small SUV, the XT4 makes a decent over-the-road vacation car.

What's New for 2024?
Now in its sixth model year, it's no surprise that Cadillac decided a revamp was in order for the 2024 Cadillac XT4, starting with updates to the SUV's exterior styling. A new front fascia and re-imagined LED lighting elements that closely mirror Cadillac's XT6 bring an updated, fresh look to the 2024 XT4. There are also a few tweaks to XT4's rear exterior as well as some new wheel designs.
Cadillac didn't stop with exterior re-design, however. The XT4 features the 33-inch infotainment display found in Cadillac's Lyriq. Stretching from the area in front of the driver to the edge of the passenger's side of the dashboard, the display is impressive. XT4 owners will get Cadillac's latest infotainment interface, based on Google's Android Auto software, with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also new for 2024, XT4 buyers can opt for a 13-speaker AKG stereo system and its onboard Wi-Fi hotspot has been upgraded to 5G.
Real World Performance
All 2024 Cadillac XT4s feature turbocharged, four-cylinder engines yielding 235 hp. The engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission with the choice of front- or all-wheel drive. There's no mistaking how spry this SUV is in daily city driving, not to mention the punch it can deliver when merging onto highways. While there's a laundry list of small and compact SUVs that deliver sportiness, the 2024 XT4 is better thought of as a good cruising vehicle than a sporty SUV.
